Penina Hotel & Golf Resort

Penina Hotel & Golf Resort

Penina holds a special place in Algarve golf history as the region's first 18-hole course, designed by Sir Henry Cotton and sitting right on the first tee of the hotel itself. It's a flat but genuinely challenging parkland layout, with deep bunkers and water that demand accuracy over distance. The hotel carries a grand, traditional, almost colonial-style elegance that's rare among the area's more modern resorts, and it suits golfers who want to play a genuine piece of Algarve golfing history rather than the newest championship design.

Dona Filipa HotelMost Popular5 Star Hotel, Free Golf Transfers30 packages

Dona Filipa Hotel

A long-standing five-star favourite just outside Vale do Lobo, Dona Filipa trades modern-resort flash for traditional, understated comfort. It owns priority access to San Lorenzo, one of the Algarve's most respected courses, laid out within the Ria Formosa nature reserve with lagoons and marshland framing pine-lined holes. Rooms are spacious and many look over gardens or the sea, and facilities include outdoor pools, a spa and direct beach access. It's a calm, grown-up base with a loyal repeat-guest following, close to Vale do Lobo's restaurants and Faro's Old Town.

Pestana Vila Sol VilamouraMost Popular5 Star Hotel80 packages

Pestana Vila Sol Vilamoura

Pestana Vila Sol sits on a sprawling wooded estate and is built around its own 27-hole Donald Steel-designed course, which hosted the Portuguese Open in its early years. The Prestige and Prime loops offer a classic, heavily-bunkered test through mature trees, and the on-site Deluxe Golf Rooms look directly over the fairways for a genuine country-club feel. With five Pestana golf courses across the group available on packages, it's a strong pick for golfers who want variety without leaving the Pestana network.

AP Cabanas Beach & NatureMost PopularAll Inclusive, 5 Courses42 packages

AP Cabanas Beach & Nature

Tucked into the quiet fishing village of Cabanas de Tavira near the Spanish border, this all-inclusive hotel is built for golfers who want easy access to the eastern Algarve's courses without the intensity of the central resort towns. There's no course on site, but Monte Rei and the Ria-side Quinta da Ria, Quinta de Cima and Quinta do Vale layouts are all within easy reach. Rooms are modern and comfortable, the atmosphere leans adult-focused and calm, and Cabanas' waterfront promenade is a short walk away for quiet evenings. Tavira, one of the Algarve's most attractive towns, is close by for a change of scene on rest days.
